Opening soon: Against the Darkness art exhibition

A mix of calligraphy and symmetry brings regional conflicts to the fore in a new art show. Buro 24/7 Middle East has the details...

Ayyam Gallery Dubai (DIFC) is set host a new solo exhibition by Iranian artist Mohammad Bozorgi. Titled Against the Darkness, the show will feature handpicked works from the calligrapher and painter's Coloured Tears, Grey World project. The selected artworks reflect the ongoing conflicts within the Middle East and how that regional issue has affected the whole world.

Exquisitely combining abstract forms with bright colours, Bozorgi channels hope in his works. Juxtaposing bleakness and darkness with bright pops of life, simultaneously announcing that despair will not conquer people's lives he instead focuses on the beauty and peacefulness that still exists. Some of the highlights of the exhibition include the large painting Martyred Child as well as War and Freedom.

Against the Darkness by Mohammad Bozorgi will run from May 30 until August 25, 2016, at the Ayyam Gallery, DIFC, Dubai.
